My technical writings are hosted here, but I also have a Hey World newsletter. Subscribe there if you want to receive updates and new posts.

I have a couple of open-source packages you may be interested in checking out. I've been trying to bridge the Rails and Laravel worlds!

Turbo Laravel: This package gives you a set of conventions to make the most out of Hotwire in Laravel.
Stimulus Laravel: Use Stimulus in your Laravel app.
Rich Text Laravel: Integrates the Trix Editor with Laravel. Inspired by the Action Text gem from Rails.
Importmap Laravel: Use ESM with import maps to manage modern JavaScript in Laravel without transpiling or bundling.
TailwindCSS Laravel: This package wraps up the standalone executable version of the Tailwind CSS framework for a Laravel application.

Sometimes I record a screencast about a topic I'm tinkering, a problem I've encountered, or a tool that I'm building or learning.

Hotwire & Laravel: A short and free series on Hotwire and Laravel.
Kubernetes for Laravel Developers: A video series that will teach you Kubernetes from a Laravel developer's perspective.
